The Messenger visited Amanda Serafin’s first-grade class at Bridgeport Elementary school last Friday, and the students showed us some special turkeys they designed. For a project, they had to create a turkey wearing a disguise then write a journal entry describing that turkey. Then they would read the journal entries and their classmates would guess which turkey belonged to them.
